Is ANYBODY reading the links that I am providing?

Also, the chest tattoo is discussed in detail much earlier in this thread.

C'mon, keep up, people!

Why wouldn't it?

Why wouldn't it? as I stated above, the emphasis on the tampons (shown at least twice) would tend to show that he was sent out there by Maggie.

It is pretty easy from there:

Maggie speaks to Beth before, tells her what to do.

Marty goes in shop, as instructed by Maggie to look at phones.

Beth sees her cue and chats him up.

Now here is the stretch - there is a bar/tavern in vicinity, and Marty stops in, where Beth saddles up next to him and orders MAGGIE'S DIRTY MARTINI - but maybe Maggie knows that Marty is such a drunk he would not be able to pass up a watering hole. Like I said, THAT is the only stretch I see, because after that, Beth follows him outside and admits that she remembers him.

The phone pics could have been Maggie setting that up very easily. She has Beth send them so that she can find them and go get summa that Krayzy RustMeat - Boom.

Refresh me: what was her exact reaction right after she saw it?

"Thank you", as in "Thank you for fulfilling my plan!" - maybe?

Anyhow, she would indeed have to look at the phone to confirm that her ammo for her own betrayal was indeed delivered - i.e. if Marty was smart and he deleted the pics, she would have no justification. Also, maybe Beth was instructed to send the pics at that specific time (while Marty was in shower) to escape deletion (not sure about this one - does it show timestamps or give any time indication on the texts?).

That is an easy explanation. It looks similar to every angelic depiction I have ever seen. Why fixate on the tattoo. Ledoux straight out tells Cohle he has seen him before.

I can't get over all the looks that Charlie Lange and Marty give each other in this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vla-8D_U_Po

even better, the look Ledoux gives Cohle the first time he sees him through the opened window after Marty first announces their presence

I haven't rewatched any episode and didn't notice this. He definitely has seen Cohle before but I don't think it is as any sort of accomplice role or one that Cohle is aware of. It obviously has an impact on Cohle as his meeting with Ledoux is the genesis of his philosophy that everything in life is recurring.

Im gonna have to rewatch all 7. Not sure I can do it by sunday

I didn't see one either. There's a lot of posters here who like to bring up shit and then not post the link where they got it from so we can follow up on it.

I hate that shit.

Why, thank you, good doctor! I did not see that.

That sequence either suggests (A) a cinematographic chronology or inconsistency error or (B) that Marty envisioned the dolls that way, and they were not really set up like that (as was suggested).

That's a pretty big screw-up since they actually have the young actress putting the doll on a table.

Also, the name of that episode......Seeing Things.

It's the same episode where Rust sees the birds in that circular pattern when he gets out of the car.

Do your kids have two or more of the same action figure? Mine certainly do.

I'm not in favor of that since they've certainly laid a groundwork here that they aren't going to payoff with the dolls, the notebook with her naked drawings, her sexual experimentation, etc.

Really?

Its kind of a blur for me, but was the daughter referenced in Episode 7? What makes you think they wont pay it off?

I don't think there is time to really flesh out what must have happened to her if we are to believe the Grandfather was involved and she was molested by the group as a child, etc. You'd have to reintroduce the Grandfather, go through how he got her involved, take some time to show the emotional impact on the daughter and all that. I just don't think they'd do that.

humblebrag

I'm an indulgent parent. I will pay for that in the future

Link to where you saw that, you durrty summbitch!

That would explain (A) why he was so nervous to go over there for the first dinner, and (B) why he snuck back to show everybody his guns, have a cup of tea, and do some landscaping.

After reading, reading, and reading all of these articles and threads on this show, I am so utterly tired of people trying to sound smart by throwing around examples of how "time is a flat circle"!

Has anyone ever stopped to think: what other type of circle IS there? NONE! or Even if time was a SPHERE, you would STILL go round and round and end up where you started!

It is JUST NIETSCHIAN GIBBERISH-BABBLE and MEANS FUCKING NOTHING! It is not a theme that is carrying the show.

In the show, I believe Mr. Cole is the one who proclaims it to be the work of Nietzsche.

Here is what Einstein said on the subject:

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

In regards to a circular universe Einstein said that space is curved, so that if you travel in a straight line you would eventually end up where you started.

Also, if the spoiler I posited is to be believed, it would prove what I said above about all of the "circle" bullshit surrounding this show to be correct.
